He first surrendered to the French, but the French denied it and told him to surrender to George Washington. There were an estimation of 80,000 British soldiers being killed along the way of the Revolutionary War. That made mad a lot of British families. The Revolutiion had a lot of impacts on the American society, by affecting the women relations, Native Americans, and the African Americans.

On 1782 a new administration, or Parliament was elected in England. They decided to make peace. Benjamin Franklin, one of the most important founding fathers assisted to the negociation. By September 3, of 1783 the treaty was signed. The Treaty of Paris recognized the American Independence and the new American Nation. Franklin not only got the independence of the 13, colonies ( that it was the ideal purpose of the Revolution ) he also manage that the Treaty granted peace, independence, and recognation of the territory that the Americans occupied ( all the lands west of the Appalachian Mountains, also the Louissiana Purchase ). There was a negative result or effect of the Treaty of Paris, that it caused a strain alliance between the Americans and the French, eventhough the French were the principal alliance, supporter, help of the Americans they were not taken in consideration on the Treaty.

There were also major impacts because of the Treaty. Firs of all the land that belonged to the French that was on North American territory, it passed under the command of the Americans. The British regained some land, they staid with Quebeck and the Ohio River Valley. New Orleans and the Louisiana Territory that was west of the Mississippi River were became Spaniard territory. In society one of the most greatest impact was the disperse of the loyalits, the migrated to the Dominion of Canada ( British Territoy ). Also the Treaty of Fort Sanwix and Hopewell was created for the Indians, and the interesting part was that those Treaties proclaimed that the Indians should give up their lands and the Americans wouldnt harm them.

Charles Cornwallis

Charles Cornwallis was a British general; he was born at London, on New Year eve, 1738. He arrives to years after the revolution war start, he came to America as a major general but then he become the leader of all the British army in the south. Charles fights much battle against The Americans but the main battle was the ballet of Yorktown, this battle is known as the British surrender.

The battle of Yorktown was the most important battle in the revolution war, the British were expected to win but they didn’t count with the support of the Americans (French army). Cornwallis was waiting for British troops but suddenly French army arrives and joins Americans army, this made British surrender. This was the end of the revolution war.

British mistakes

Since the beginning British were supposed to win this war, Americans didn’t have the army support that the king of England gave to his soldiers. British miss judge the Americans and thought this war would be easy. British won most of the battle but one error they make was that every battle they win they led Americans troops escape. This first error led the Americans reorganize and start over and over again.

One big problem wasn’t British errors or Americans correctness, was simply the geography fact. There is a huge ocean between United State and England. England had to send soldiers, food, weapons, coats, etc. In those times supplies were send by ships and this may take weeks.  This geography problem made British lost the revolution war because in the battle of Yorktown they lost waiting for more troops.

One point that the British Didn’t count on was that the Americans had really good leaders like George Washington, also Americans where really motivated because they where fighting for there rights, also one thing that really motivate them was that there wife’s approve this and make them thinks she will take care of the appointments. There are many mistakes British made in this war like the decision to assault bunker hill or the failure to pursue southern strategy in 1776.In conclusion British misjudge Americans.
